Our Suggested Message:

Dear Mayor Lundberg:

Please completely abandon any plan for an urban growth boundary expansion which would place an industrial zone on Seavey Loop. That plan is entirely unrealistic, outrageously expensive, and would severely harm the interests of farmers, residents and park users. It would permanently destroy farm and housing sector jobs, and it threatens the health and livelihood of local residents. Please stop wasting taxpayer dollars and immediately announce that Springfield has withdrawn all investigations of the so-called "College View" industrial area. Please investigate other locations where expansion is welcome, and maintain Springfield's superb reputation.

Sing Unto Pisgah

The Springfield Native Youth Center drum, Eugene Peace Choir, Raging Grannies and Lane County residents formed a mass choir of 150 singers at Mt. Pisgah Sept. 28 to support a citizen’s campaign against a Springfield urban growth boundary expansion that would place industry on Seavey Loop.

Sing unto Pisgah: Voices Save Seavey Loop took place Sunday September 28 from 3:00 pm near the north parking lot at Mt. Pisgah. The program started with the Springfield Native Youth Center drum singing the AIM (American Indian Movement) Song.

The assembled choir will then performed the Pisgah Antiphony, a morality play with the verses spoken by the poet Walter Simon and the chorus sung by the choir.

Following the Antiphony, the choir sang environmental and spiritual songs led by local musicians Marty Chilla, Rich Glauber, Rob Tobias, Solala Towler, Shanti Shivani, and the Wizard of Maz.

The purpose of the event was to exercise the rights to freedom of speech and assembly, and to gain media attention and public support for the No Industrial Pisgah campaign by Seavey Loop farms, residents and park users.

The campaign is asking Springfield to immediately and completely abandon any plan for an urban growth boundary expansion which would place an industrial zone on Seavey Loop.
